Calling all 2005 WISH Walkers!

[geetey]

Poor Karen - she just *has* to go to WDW for a week! hee hee I know you are going to have a BLAST!

Jan 07 would be more doable for me, versus December, although I would LOVE to see all of the Christmas decorations again.

 

[Cheryl N. WI]

Oh my gosh, I can't believe this, I haven't had much time to get to the DIS boards lately and I haven't looked in on the WISH board in way, way too long and I have been thinking I need another jump start to help me get remotivated to exercise more and eat better so I thought I better peek in on WISH and look what I found a reunion thread!

I would love to see all my fellow WISH walkers again!!! I think of all you often and wonder how everyone is doing but I need to make the time and commitment to get back here regularly again! Keep me posted on when you decide and I am hoping that I would be able to swing it! That's what we have DVC for after all, right . If we had a meet in Jan. 2007 I would be up for doing the 1/2 marathon again or would maybe shoot for the full. I really need something to keep me going and this would probaly do it. I have gained 7 pounds since Jan. and just can't seem to get them off I did just get a Total Gym though and I have started working out with that and am planning on alternating that with my WATP tapes.

Karen Thank you, it is great to see that picture of our lovely group again and I really do feel a new motivation again! We had such a great group to keep each other going!

Bev and Molli Have a great cruise! I can't believe it is almost Thanksgiving already. You must be soooo excited. Have fun!

to everyone!

Hello again everyone,

I just got back in town last night from San Antonio, TX for a conference. Once again I had a great time with awesome people.

geetey, karebear1, ohMom, maryliz thank you for your generous compliments. I'm so glad to see everyone is doing well. Most of all I'm so glad Karen started this thread because now I have a home to come to and just chat with FRIENDS!!!! This thread is just about all of the good vibes.

 

[Tiger Lily 03]

Kim! So great to hear from you and see your pics. What a lovely family.

I do miss my WISH 2005 buddies for sure.

 

[karebear1]

I'm Baaaaaaaack!

I got back last night..... and I feel like I walked the marathon EVERY day! I'm soooo out of shape!
I saw Molli Friday morning. She looks great! BUT she didn't say anything about maybe doing the full marathon to me- I think I scared her too much with my huffing and puffing around the Boardwalk! She slowed down because she probab;y thought I was going to die of a heart attack!! Lucky Molli- she's on a cruise right now.
We had such a great time! When I have time to download some pics, I'll post them and tell stories.

Sooooooo good to see everyone here again! Hi Cheryl! Maryliz- My dad was in the CIA. He taught me MANY things. You just give me a little nod- and I'll take care of all your problems at work!!!

Glad to hear you all had a great time and look forward to seeing pictures. Our family will be down there this coming Friday and I just can't wait.

Hi everyone!
It's so nice to see you all here. Kim - I have to chime in with everyone else. Your children are so adorable!
I don't think I'll be able to make your reunion next year. But as with all things Disney, I never say never.

 

[Susan--Ontario]

Hello My Dear Friends,

I haven't been to the WISH boards in ages and ages and I was at Nancy's yesterday and she showed me the pictures of Kim's beautiful children. I thought I'd check out the thread today.

I'm still doing the chemo thing ( I go tomorrow for round 11). It doesn't keep me down long and then I have two/two and a half pretty good weeks until we do it again. Thanks for all your prayers. They are the only way I'm gonna beat this thing. I have my medal hanging up in the living room and I look at it every day. Besides the births of my kids it was the hardest thing I've every accomplished.

Lily -- you are an inspiration to us all. I'll be thinking of you in January as you bypass the 13.1 mile finish and glide to the 26.2 finish!!!!

Please post updates on what you've been doing because I do miss you all.

WE WERE THE !ST WISH DELEGATION
AND WE DID IT WITH DETERMINATION!!!!!

hi WISH 1/2 marathon friends!!

LOL karen -- and thanks for the compliment as i was feeling a bit traveled -- i was on the high "look at me at WDW" on my first day of vacation

anyhow -- no, i repeat NO full marathon for me. i just don't have a strong enough desire to commit to the training for a full. BUT mom and I are kinda getting gung-ho about a 1/2 in 2007! yes, really. i guess registration will be soon, huh? oh my! just home from one vacation and ready to plan the next. DH seems to be open to my participating and once i get an official 'yes dear' the deal is sealed

cruise was great -- i'm a bit overwhelmed and will share as my head unfogs

tomorrow back on the wagon

 

[AlreadyexcitedGrammy]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS - Susan posted - so good to hear from you! Think of you (and all of Team Canada) so often. Will continue to pray for healing and restoration - hugs to all way up north

Okay - thank goodness I read that last post by Molli and she regained her senses of NO full marathon. My guess is she had an early caffeine jolt before meeting Karen, along with that WDW hype-thing going - when she said she might consider the full! Can you just imagine - M out finishing the 2nd half and I would be in the parks having fun - never - she would never let that happen But she is right reporting that I am seriously thinking the half in 2007. REUNION time - oh yeah - we can do it!

It has be a real uplift to read through this thread tonight - yes - I returned to reality today (Cheryl our cruise was GREAT) and it was nice to come and read notes from friends and those pixs of Kimickey and children - oh just toooooooooooooo cute! and James still looking pretty good too

Today I managed a re-start with counting WW points and have to scoot to bed real quick - why - BECAUSE I AM HUNGRY - but I can make it - got my boost from my WISH friends - who needs food

Hugs to all - and Geety I still wear my bracelet and it reminds me of all of YOU,too!

Hey everyone,

Well I've stayed away from WISH for a few months and I"m glad I found this thread. My BIL is planning to do the Disney Full in 2007 and he's been telling me I should try it. I really want to accomplish a full, but if nothing else I would love to do the 1/2 again.

I think a re-union in January at the 1/2 would be great. Its a better time than over the NYE time.

This would give me a reason to start exercising again. I've been bad since October.

I think we should continue a thread. I really missed our threads from last year.

Hello fellow W.I.S.H.ers,

ADisneyMom is checking in on the reunion thread.

When I logged on in at the end of December it indicated that my last visit to the board was in August.

It's hard to believe it has been that long.

It is also hard to believe that this time last year I was on my way to WDW for a 1/2 marathon. Sad to say I would not be in shape this year, however, I am getting myself back on track.

While reviewing some threads that I missed I found this one. I enjoyed meeting
W.I.S.H. walkers last year at the half. I mentioned to my DH tonight that it was time for the race at WDW and he mentioned that he enjoyed going last year.
It was a short vacation for us and although I was the only one in our family of five who participated in the race we enjoyed being at WDW and staying on the property for the first time.

Due to scheduling I knew I could not participate this year.
Since the 1/2 has been moved from Sunday morning to Saturday morning I don't think I can make it without taking the kids out of school that Friday.

It was great reading the posts from others. I have my scarf and medal within eyesight of my desk and think of that day fondly.

Stay healthy.
ADisneyMom
